From its very inception – and even before it took place! - the victorious Great October (socialist) revolution in 1917 was bitterly opposed by the international capitalist class and especially world imperialism.
And it could not have been otherwise. Genuine socialism, after all, means the expropriation of the banks and major businesses and turning over this enormous wealth for the creative utilization and economic and social development to benefit the working class and non-exploiting population as a whole.
Bourgeois fear was not confined to what was happening in the huge country of Russia. The development of a vibrant and bourgeoning socialist economy in one large land mass would serve as a beacon and inspirational source for billions of oppressed people around the world.
Nothing was more important for world imperialism – above all for the most powerful and most rapacious United States of America – than overthrowing the first and most powerful socialist state.
These foul and murderous assaults began with the massive foreign military invasion of Russia almost immediately after the successful October socialist revolution. The mis-named “Civil War” - Гражданская война (1917-1922) - was first and foremost enormous and bloody foreign intervention, with the US also sending troops. Domestic counter-revolutionaries participated in the frightful massacre, but they would have been a minor force without massive imperialist incitement, mobilization, funds and plentiful supplies of arms and munitions.
It was not only the exceptionally heroic and self-sacrificial efforts of the bulk of Soviet working people and the brilliant leadership of the Bolshevik Party headed by Владимир Ленин that eventually – at a horrible cost – frustrated this first overt imperialist intervention. Important factors were also the still on-going World War I and then massive war-weariness and war-hatred in Europe and other large parts of the globe.

The Bolshevik Party: enemies within from the very beginning...
The revolutionary process is never smooth. And not only because of objective factors and difficulties in overcoming ignorance, backwardness and prejudices among the people.
It is the vital – in fact, essential – goal of exploiting classes to sabotage and destroy all revolutionary – even merely progressive – movements from within.
I learned this crucial fact in the United States of America, where the “Communist Party USA” was (and in its tatters remains) an entirely fake, secret political police organization in the police state dictatorship that is the US of A. See my post “Insights into the US Secret Political Police 2”.
While I did not know personally each and every member of the “Party,” I came into contact with hundreds of them. There was no doubt that they and the entire “leadership” – without exception – were made up of bought-and-paid-for stooges of the vast US secret political police. It took me considerable time to come to this realization, but it was not so difficult to ascertain as it might seem. In the absence of any meaningful political action whatsoever, the Party held meetings after meetings, meetings about meetings, and meetings about meetings about meetings. With time and a growing understanding of what was taking place, I learned all I needed to know about my “comrades.”
There can also be no doubt that the same principles applied to the pre-revolutionary Bolshevik Party led by ВИ Ленин. The crucial difference being that this Party had genuine communists in its leadership and membership.
What percentage of comrades were honest? Hard to know. What is certain is that Tsarist secret political police – in league with foreign imperialist “intelligence” services - massively infiltrated the ranks of the revolutionaries. Only a few of these, such as Гапон (см. Гапон, Георгий Аполлонович, Википедия) and Малиновский (см. Малиновский, Роман Вацлавович, Википедия), were ever caught and punished.
“Деятельность завербованных агентов не ограничивалась шпионажем и передачей сведений полиции, они нередко провоцировали действия, за которые можно было бы арестовать членов нелегальной организации. Агенты сообщали о месте и времени акции, и подготовленной полиции уже не составляло труда задержать подозреваемых. По мнению создателя ЦРУ Аллена Даллеса, именно русские подняли провокацию до уровня искусства. По его словам, «это было главное средство, с помощью которого царская охранка нападала на след революционеров и инакомыслящих». Изощренность русских агентов-провокаторов Даллес сравнивал с персонажами Достоевского”. (Царская охранка: КГБ в царской России, cont.ws 9 февраля 2017г.)

Правительство США жестоко нарушало мои права человека при проведении кампании террора, которая заставила меня покинуть свою родину и получить политическое убежище в СССР. См. книгу «Безмолвный террор — История политических гонений на семью в США» - "Silent Terror: One family's history of political persecution in the United States» - arnoldlockshin.wordpress.com
Правительство США еще нарушает мои права, в течении 14 лет отказывается от выплаты причитающейся мне пенсии по старости. Властители США воруют пенсию!!
ФСБ - Федеральная служба «безопасности» России - вслед за позорным, предавшим страну предшественником КГБ, мерзко выполняет приказы секретного, кровавого хозяина (boss) - американского ЦРУ (CIA). Среди таких «задач» - мне запретить выступать в СМИ и не пропускать большинства отправленных мне комментариев. А это далеко не всё...
